Babies 101: Chamomile Homeopathic Remedy

If you have young children, especially a baby, then you need to stock your first aid kit with the homeopathic remedy Chamomilla (Chamomile)

Let me start out by giving you a short story of how this remedy works:

A couple weeks ago a parent brought in a 5 month old baby. The baby was very fussy, and had been since the previous day. The mother informed me that the baby had received his vaccines the previous day, and since then he wouldn't stop crying. The mother didn't relate the child's state as being a cause of vaccinations, since her doctor assured her that they were safe. I, on the other hand, knew that his state of discomfort was a direct cause of being vaccinated. Initially, I thought he needed a different homeopathic remedy--one that would help to cleanse the vaccinations. Personalized testing (kinesiology) showed differently... showing that he needed Chamomilla. I took out my homeopathic first aid kit and found Chamomilla. I mixed two small white pellets in a small glass of water. At that point the mother was at her wit's end, so I had the baby in my arms. He was still fussy as I gave him a small spoonful of the homeopathic water. To my surprise, within 5 seconds, the baby was fast asleep!

The mother couldn't believe her eyes (and to be honest, neither could I). The mother called me the next day and said that her baby slept all night and most of the next day. She was absolutely thrilled and amazed at the healing power of homeopathy!

Chamomilla (homeopathic Chamomile) is one of my favorite remedies for babies. It is indicated for pain, including teething and colic in babies. When a child is in a 'chamomilla state', they are obviously unhappy and uncomfortable. They are angry, irritable, impatient, and inconsolable. They are crying, screaming, and arching his/her back. They ask for something, but then refuse it. Their head can be sweaty, one cheek red and the other pale, thirsty, and with green diarrhea. Their symptoms improve when they are rocked or carried. Worse at night.

Earaches: sensitive to cold and noise (feels better with warmth); pain that makes the child frantic.

This is one of the best remedies for teething, colic, and earaches--especially when their symptoms match the above 'symptom picture.'

**Homeopathy is such a diverse field of practice. Many practitioners have studied for thousands of hours. There are thousands of different remedies and sometimes it can be difficult to find the exact remedy. Consult a homeopath or Naturopath skilled in homeopathy. **
